Perfect location in the heart of the city, with a variety of restaurants and bars/pubs just down Belmont Street within a 5-10 minutes radius. Most of the clubs are within 10-15 minutes walk making night life super accessible. Lidl, Tesco, Morrisons, Sainsbury’s Local and Co-op all in 20 minute walking distance. Bon Accord shopping centre and Trinity shopping centre are both about 5 minutes walk away where you can get pretty much anything you would like. The streets are in general safe and relatively quiet, although depending on the room’s location in the building may be a bit louder. Union Terrace Gardens is right outside if you fancy a walk in the park and the Art Gallery is across the street as well. One downside is the parking, as there isn’t free parking available, however, parking anywhere in aberdeen is a nightmare anyway. There are nearby parking opportunities, however, like Bon Accord shopping centre. Lastly, Union Square and the train station are about 10-15 minutes walk away making everything ridiculously accessible. In terms of public transport, Union Street is 3 minutes walk away with a variety of bus stops going in all directions.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Anything that could be resolved easily was resolved in a matter of days, the remaining things may have taken longer but they did eventually resolve as well.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Storage space is obviously not ideal so it’s good to prepare and know you might need to purchase a book shelf or two.
